See The Elephant Lyrics

I saw Pete and Johnny too
Dressed up in their Sunday suits
Getting themselves all up to go
Down to Richmond to the traveling show
I fixed the gate like you told me to
Done my chores like I always do
And I won�t tell mama you let me go
Down to Richmond to the traveling show

Please Papa can I go
Down to Richmond to the traveling show
Please Papa don�t you say I can�t
I just want to see the elephant

I�ll borrow the truck from uncle Phil
You know I can drive it well
He won�t need it now that the hay�s all in
Just let me go and see the elephant

Sister she can�t go with me
This is not for her to see
Little brother you�ll get your chance
To go down and see the elephant

Little brother you�ll get your chance
To go down and see the elephant


They�re looking for a few good men
Could be war by summer�s end
Sure would hate it if I went
And never got to see the elephant

I saw Pete and Johnny too
Dressed up in their Navy Blues
Gettin� themselves all up to go
Down to Richmond to the traveling show
